Fresh Peach Pie Recipe
Who doesn’t love a ripe, juicy, sweet as candy peach? Sardegna has the best peaches of all the land- I might be partial. In Italy it is custom to eat fruit after every meal.
Whatever fruit is in season that time of year is served after the meal. In the summer time you find local peaches, figs, cherries, apricots, and grapes.
We make weekly trips to the orchards nearby and get cases of peaches that go like hotcakes with our big family To this day my zio Peppo (Guiseppe) is famous for his peach peeling (generally, Italians don’t like fruit with the peel) and cutting skills. Even at my age I still love a freshly prepared peach from him.
It’s not that I can’t do it myself, obviously, it’s the love and desire he shows when he does it for me. When I eat that peach, I feel his desire to nourish my heart and show his love. It’s a simple gesture that goes beyond giving someone food. That’s the Italian way- spreading love through food.
Fresh Peach Season
The only other peaches that compare are actually from my neighbors peach tree in Bountiful, Utah. Bountiful is named for the “bounty” of fruits and vegetables it provides. Years ago and still today there are orchards all around the small town. There is even a street called “Orchard” where all the fruit fields filled the properties.
When peaches are so divinely delicious I almost feel bad cooking them. I want to highlight the pure raw juicy flavor they hold in their natural state.
That’s why I invented this recipe. I wanted to highlight the pure goodness of a peach without baking it. The best part? It’s a no bake pie. Enjoy the taste of summer with this sweet as a peach dessert.
